Yes Craclyn it could well be him. We'll have to wait for the marriage certificate to see what the father's name is.

Lynda as always you come up trumps.  I hadn't thought of Family search after worldwide searches on Ancestry and Findmypast only showed up the British marriage and death records.

It's going to be a long wait for the marriage certificate to come, estimated despatch date was 11th June. I think I'll tentatively put these names in my tree for the time being so I have something to work from.

Even though I have no direct link to this Norweigan link this has excited me as my 2nd cousin has never known about this side of his family for complicated reasons.  Last year I was able to give him his great grandfather name and various newspaper reports into his death and other information about our shared great grandmother and his own grandmother.  If this proves to be correct then I'll be able to give him information about his Norweigan ancestors and I know he will love this.

Fingers crossed that the marriage certificate ties in with this possibility Mary.

If you are going to be venturing further into Norwegian research then you should also take a look at the Norwegian Digital Archives: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/

Finally the marriage certificate arrived.  It hasn't helped me though.  Charles Basberg's father is listed as Charles Basberg (Deceased)  Master Mariner on the marriage certificate.  I haven't been able to find any Charles Basbergs in Norwegian records, but also I imagine Charles would be Claus in Norwegian so still perplexed.

Hi
Charles would be Karl or Carl in Scandinavia.

The occupation of Søren Olaus Basberg on the birth record although quite hard to read is either a skipper or a ship owner.
